I recently posted the following quote by Sarah Ban Breathnach on http://www.facebook.com/AwakeningTheDivineWithin: “You simply will not be the same person two months from now after consciously giving thanks each day for the abundance that exists in your life. And you will have set in motion an ancient spiritual law: the more you have and are grateful for, the more will be given you.” After I posted it I went into my morning meditation and received strong guidance to do just that, and to invite you to join me in this adventure to see what we can all manifest.

For the 31 days of May we will be celebrating the abundance that we already have in our lives and manifesting more. I am offering you a chance to participate in this Month of Manifestation for free. That’s right, there is no charge to participate, as I would like to do this as an act of service, to help you manifest more abundance in your life. I believe we are all abundantly blessed when we are of service in helping, supporting and encouraging each other.

From May 1st until May 31st I will send out one email each day of encouragement, suggestions, and inspiration to help you stay focused on what you want. All you have to do is bring your loving energy and light to the mix, so we can all support each other in this process. If you would like to participate please email me at alanna@awakeningthedivinewithin.net with the following information:
1. Your full name
2. The email address in which you would like your daily email sent
3. The top 1, 2 or 3 things you want to manifest. (Example: Love, Money, Joy) It’s likely that you will manifest many more but I would like to know which are most heart-felt and important to you right now so I can create a light list (or prayer list) that we can all send light to. All of your information will be kept confidential and will not be shared or given out to anyone.

That’s all you have to do. I will email you starting on May 1st and we will be off and running for 31 days. I look forward to hearing from you. This is going to be fun!

Wishing you days of abundant manifesting!

Blessings,
Alanna

I have had many clients calling me in “crisis” the past few weeks. Many people are experiencing a lot of struggle in their careers/jobs or in their relationships with friends, family, co-workers/bosses, and romantic partnerships! The energy has been intense these past few weeks and it continues to shift again and again. I have a theory about all of this that I want to share with you.

We are in a time of great change right now. The energy is shifting faster than I ever remember, at least what I am feeling and experiencing of it. I believe this is because of the Universal shifts that are coming related to 2012. There is a lot of fear based energy out there about 12-21-2012. I personally don’t buy into the fear based information but I do believe we are in for a BIG change. If you don’t know anything about this shift and want to, I suggest Gregg Braden’s book “Fractal Time” http://www.greggbraden.com/books_audios_videos In my opinion he explains 2012 in a non-fear based manner. In short, Mr. Braden says “December 21st of the year 2012 signals the end of a long and mysterious cycle of time—a Great World Age that began 5,125 years ago.”

So, back to my theory…intuitively I feel like we are being given a chance to heal some of our deepest issues before stepping into the new cycle after 12-21-2012. I believe this is the time for us to clear old patterns, beliefs, hurt, and pain that has been holding us back, or keeping us in the energy of suffering. Our unresolved issues are being triggered so that we can heal them. Those who choose to work with and heal the material that is coming up for them will move through this transition and forward into this new era with more grace, ease and peace. Those who fight it, are unwilling to look at their issues, or choose to stay in the struggle are going to have a much more difficult time during this transition.

We all have a choice here. Besides, who really WANTS to struggle? Many people don’t realize that they actually have a choice in the matter. You do! We might not have a choice as to what happens to us, or control over the things around us, but we can choose how we think, feel and act as we go through it.

It is time for us to step up, take care of ourselves and our issues, so that we can then support and encourage those around us in doing the same. You don’t have to do this alone. There are many others out there experiencing very similar things and feelings right now. If you have found yourself struggling or find that there is a lot of “stuff” being triggered inside of you it might be time to reach out for help. If you would like to schedule a session please email me at alanna@awakeningthedivinewithin.net

Stay in the light, be aware of your truth as a Divine Being here having a Human experience, and know that you are blessed in every moment of everyday!

Peace and blessings,
Alanna

The energy has been shifting again. Have you felt it? We had a big energy shift starting a couple days before the New Year. My experience of that energy was one of hope, peace, upliftment, joy and a sense of something new and fresh in the air.

In the last week or so I have noticed another energy shift, although I wasn’t fully aware of what it was until the last couple days. Everyone seems to be experiencing this new energy in different ways, but many that I have spoken with are feeling tired and energetically drained, and some are having trouble sleeping.

We will all feel this shift differently depending on where we are physically as well as where we are in our lives. I have been meditating on this and what has come forward is that there are a lot of physical shifts happening with our earth right now (earthquakes in Haiti, torrential rains on the West Coast, tornados, mudslides and flooding in SoCal, etc). Our earth is in a time of transition, which creates a shift in the energy we are all feeling.

I feel like the earth is trying to give us a wake-up call. I’m not yet 100% clear on the message, but my sense is that it’s about us taking better care of our home (the earth), our people (meaning ALL humans), and ourselves (body, mind and spirit).

So what do we do when there is seeming tragedy, destruction, and crisis everywhere we turn? Well, we have a choice. We can either get wrapped up in the energy of it all, or we can step back and call in the light, and ask what we can do to help, without getting sucked into the negativity. Here’s the thing, when we get all wrapped up in the drama, sadness and tragedy of what is happening our energy starts leaking toward what is going on, but it’s usually fear-based energy so it’s not really helping anyone. In the meantime, we start feeling exhausted and don’t have the physical energy to properly take care of ourselves or those around us that need our assistance.

We would be better off if we can learn to hold in the loving and consciously send light and prayers for the highest good. In doing it this way we are not draining our energy, we are actually renewing it. When we send light, light is sent back to us. When we send fear, fear is sent back to us. Whatever we are putting out there is what we will be experiencing more of.

I would lovingly suggest that we all watch, listen, and read as little fear-based information as possible at this time. A lot of what is coming through the media is fear-based information. Secondary PTSD is real. We all have different levels of energetic sensitivity and some may actually be taking on the pain and suffering of other people unknowingly, which really doesn’t help anyone. I’m not telling you to turn a blind eye, or deaf ear to what’s going on in the world. I’m suggesting that you take care of yourself and your energy so that you can help hold the light and truly help those who really need it. The only thing we have control over is how we choose to go through it physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, and how we choose to support ourselves and others in the process.

Here is a prayer to help support and assist all of us at this time. I would suggest seeing yourself being bathed in beautiful golden-white light before during and after saying it:

Mother/Father God, Divine Creator of all, I ask that you please cleanse my body, my mind and my energy field of any fear-based or negative energy, and anything else that is no longer serving my highest good. Please reveal to me the best way I can serve at this time. I send love, light, healing, blessings, and peace for the highest good to all that may need it around the world. May all of us as humans be blessed, held in the light and in your loving arms. May we find a loving, peaceful way to unite and understand that we are all one. May we find ways to support each other and this beautiful earth that is our temporary home until we return home to you, our Divine Creator.

The good news is that things should start to feel lighter in the next week or two, as it looks like this energy will be shifting again. I know in my heart that in truth we are all safe, loved, and blessed, no matter what happens in our physical human experience. Please take care of yourself and each other. I will be holding you in the light for the highest good.

Peace and blessings,
Alanna

Change has been a big topic floating around the past few weeks, especially with it being a new year. There certainly has been a shift (or change) in the Universal energy. Can you feel it? The energy feels much lighter. People are full of much more promise, hope and possibility. Hallelujah, I say! We needed some change! The energy in 2009 was so heavy, like quicksand sucking many of us under. Well, 2010 is here and it’s handing you a stick to help pull you out of the quicksand. It’s up to you if you grab the sick or not.

Did you make any New Year’s resolutions? I did, but more about that later. How are you doing with your resolutions? Most people give up or quit on theirs within 10 days. Do you know why? Because often they have not set themselves up for success. What do I mean by that? Well, sometimes we have blocks on the emotional, mental, physical, spiritual and very often unconscious levels that keep us from achieving the change or success that we want. How do you know if you have any blocks on any levels? Well, do you have what you want right now? Are you living the life you desire? Are you creating lasting change and success in your life?

It takes courage, strength, and perseverance to make lasting change, and we also have to clear anything that’s in our way. Do you have the courage to clear the path and make the changes you need, or want, to make? I bet you do! Change can feel a little daunting, but if we breathe through it, and take it one baby step at a time, working through the emotional and mental material that surfaces, before we know it we will be on the other side of the hill and enjoying the fruit of our new creation or situation.

If you feel stuck, reach out for help. As a coach, that’s my job. It’s why I’m here.

So, what are my New Year’s resolutions? The first one is to keep my commitments (especially to myself), even if it means renegotiating them from time to time. Believe me, this has brought up plenty of material for me to work on…and it’s been GREAT! I love what’s resulting from doing this work. The second and third resolutions have just been added in the past few days: To finish any incomplete cycles of action (any incomplete tasks or unresolved business, words spoken, letters written, etc.), and my favorite of all…to make this the BEST YEAR OF MY LIFE!

I’d love to hear yours.

Peace, love and blessings,

I have been starting each day with doing some writing. Some days it’s free form writing and other days it’s channeled writing. This morning when I tuned in I immediately became aware of a lot of “suffering” energy in the world. After sending light, love, blessings, angels and prayers to all those experiencing the suffering I asked Spirit to write through me whatever was in the highest good for me to share publically. Below is what came forward, unedited. I hope this can help, support, uplift, or give you some hope today, if you should need it.

In Loving,
Alanna

I am here. When people need help or assistance, all they need to do is ask and then look, listen, and feel for direction. Direction will come, and when it does trust it, no matter how silly or strange it may seem, and take action immediately. Don’t wait. The instruction that comes trough you is for you right then so take action as soon as you can. Trust is the biggest component here. What do you have to lose? Nothing! I always wonder why people wait to take action. They have asked for help, information comes through, and then they often ignore it or sit on it until it gets stale. Fear is what holds humans back. Sometimes it’s the fear of failure and often it’s actually the fear of success. People tend to be afraid of how good things could actually be, or what it might look like if their dreams actually came true. Sounds silly when we talk about it, especially from a higher perspective, because from here you can see how it’s all working in your favor anyway and the only thing stopping people from having what they want or desire is themselves. It’s certainly not the Divine…unless it is something that is truly not in your highest good. The Divine sees good in everything that happens because there are lessons and learning opportunities available in everything, especially the challenging situations. That is why you are here, yes? You asked to come to the Earth School so your soul could learn, grow, heal and have these wonderful human experiences. Have you forgotten your divinity? Have you forgotten what you signed up for before coming in to the human form? It’s OK if you have, many humans have forgotten, but now we are in a time of awakening and remembering. It’s time to remember your divinity and step forward with strength and courage. You can do it. You are more than capable; I know…I was there when you signed up for this. Do you think Spirit would let you take on more than you could handle? Not possible. God is love. Love is all there is. I don’t wish suffering, pain, or struggle on anyone. Please don’t wish it for yourself. Only you can choose how you go through any situation. Even in the most challenging of situations you have the ability to go through it with grace and ease, peace and love, compassion and truth. It is there within you. I know it. I see it. Do you?

Self-Love and Self-Care are very important. Many people have been taught to take care of everyone around them first, and then if they have time they can care for themselves. This often leaves you feeling depleted. When you board an airplane they tell you that if something should happen to put your oxygen mask on first before helping those around you. Do you know why? Because if you don’t take care of yourself first you might not be able to care for others very well. This month practice loving and caring for yourself and see how much time and energy you have left over to care for those around you.

Are you living the life of your dreams? Is your health, fitness, career, love life, family life and financial status where you would like it to be? If not, you are not alone. In today’s society most people are living to survive, not to thrive. The most common reasons or excuses that we hear for this are a lack of time or money, feeling unclear about what they want, or even fear keeping them from living the life they desire. The truth is that all of these reasons are fear based ego thoughts.

Let us explain. It’s commonly believed that “the ego” is a bad thing and we have to get rid of it. That’s not actually true. Our egos are there to keep us safe by alerting us of anything it feels is dangerous. The ego often does its job too well and keeps us from moving forward, even toward what we want. Why? Because the ego is afraid of growth and change.

Many people think they don’t have the time, money or energy to focus on creating their dreams because that is the excuse their ego is telling them. When something is really important to us we can always find the resources (time, money, energy, etc.) necessary to focus on it. It’s just a matter of making it a priority and learning how to work with your ego to become its partner, rather than opponent. The first step is to make a list of what your priorities have been and a list of what you would like your priorities to be, putting the most important on top. One step at a time you can make small shifts to help you align your life with what you do want.

Taking responsibility for your thoughts and feelings can be one of the easiest and quickest ways to empower yourself. When you are triggered or upset by something that happens or something that someone says, it’s important to remember that no one, no thing, and no situation can make you feel or think anything, unless you allow it to.

If you blame someone or something else for your frustration you are giving your power away to it. The thoughts you think, feelings you feel, and words you speak create your every experience. When you take responsibility for your thoughts and feelings you take your power back and can consciously choose what you want to focus on, and therefore create it in your life.

Hopefully you will choose to focus on what you do what, so you can create more of it, rather than giving your power away to something you don’t want or are not happy with. When you take responsibility for your thoughts, feelings and words and align them with what you want, more of it will show up in your life.

To assist you in creating more well-being in your life, here is a simple, yet profound reminder. When you ask for help, guidance, or support, be it through a prayer or other means, you will always receive it instantly. It may not always show up in the form you expect, so be open to Divine guidance and intervention in any form that it appears. The best way to recognize the help is to see everything in your life, from that moment on, as part of the answer to your prayer. The smallest, most subtle occurrences can sometimes be the most life changing, if we choose to be consciously aware of what is happening around us, especially after we have asked for Divine help, guidance, or support.
